I used to love C++ until I learned Rust. Now I think it is obnoxious, because even if you write modern C++, without raw pointers, casting and the like, you will be constantly questioning whether you do stuff right. The spec is just way too complicated at this point and it can only get worse, unless they choose to break backwards compatibility and throw out the pre C++11 bullshit

UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Should i switch to linux? please tell me why or why not.English9·2 days agoNote how the 3060 already had 12GB VRAM, and they still try to push 8 today
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•How did a right wing populist party that began on YouTube win big in Japan’s recent election?English9·2 days agoBecause it’s populist and people are stupid
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Public vs. Private synched photo managementEnglish1·3 days agoFor any kind of storage, cloud or not, I think rclone should provide whatever you need for free (not entirely shure about metadata). You will likely want at least one script tho, since the commands can get quite long, depending on configuration.
I don’t know whether this fits your needs better, but “Ente” and “Proton” offer E2E encrypted cloud storage with the option to share parts of it via link or accounts, as well as clients that automatically sync stuff for you (Android only for Ente I think)
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•6G mobile could divide the worldEnglish2·3 days agoThe thing with new Gs is that they recognized and try to improve that situation. 5G for example includes low-frequency bands that allow to cover much more area with one tower, making it more feasible for less populated areas.
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are most religious people so easy to manipulate? (serious)English4·3 days agoEvangelical in the sense of protestant christians or in the sense of that crazy cult that’s going on over in the Americas? Maybe it’s just the news giving me the wrong idea, but I really don’t recognise my religion just one ocean away.
I am a scepticist, but (or rather because) I grew up with a progressive church that allows and encourages critical thinking. Very tame stances overall, no overly aggressive rethoric, laughing and coloring you hair very much allowed. Then you cross the pond and hear fuming people talk about filthy infidels and holy wars like wth…
I think these people are not necessarily easy to manipulate, but indoctrinated to hell and back

UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•New gaming website "This Week in Video Games" launched by Skill UpEnglish43·6 days agoGreat idea, immediatly tarnished by using third party tracking tools (Google Analytics).
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Considering that AI is "hallucinating", and able to make up information that seems true based on what the model was trained on, what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?English8·8 days agoLies are deliberate, hallucinations are mistakes. Talking about lying AIs implies that they have something akin to free will or an intrinsic motivation, which they simply do not have. They are an emotionless tool designed to give good answers. It is comparable to claiming the mechanism for generating speech in the human brain comes up with lies, which it obviously doesn’t, it just articulates them.
I’m not saying humans can’t hullacinate, I am saying it is not the same as lying and that AIs can’t lie.
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Considering that AI is "hallucinating", and able to make up information that seems true based on what the model was trained on, what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?English572·9 days agoI can’t tell if you are serious, but as someone with a master in CS and some basic experience in neuroscience, I want to clarify a two things:
- AIs can’t lie, because they neither know nor understand things
- AIs are not like us and you can’t make them like us yet, because we don’t even fully understand how we work
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox?English32·9 days agoBecause Brave is by default what Firefox is when you install Librewolf instead - and more. And you can refuse to see that and be wrong about it, I don’t care. I use Librewolf because I want to, I still think it’s not the better browser.
I was bowm in Novemy :3
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movementEnglish21·15 days agoI know everyone loves to hate Ubisoft, but this is quite the common term. Also it only even applies when the agreement is terminated, I don’t even know how that would look like. I have never heard about a usage agreement being terminated, unless you yourself violate it (e.g. get banned for cheating).
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•r/worldnews leaves out a few words.English151·16 days agoYou see, the entire world is against Israel, so if anyone but Israel says something about Israel it’s a lie. Except when it’s something good, they make an exception for the rare instance this happens
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•In an attempt to avoid mobilisation, Kremlin now allows foreigners to serve in Russian armyEnglish11·16 days agoWhich is going to work for a couple months until people realise you go there and are never heard of again… If they didn’t already hear this from deserted mercenaries
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the difference between a neoclassical liberal, a social liberal, and a progressive social democrat?English1·20 days agoI think in Germany, ‘sozialliberal’ usually refers to being liberal in general, except for being pro social regulations / markets. So I guess it means everything and nothing 🤷
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•THE FINALS to get new kernel-based anti-cheat, devs say it will still work on Linux, SteamOS, Steam DeckEnglish51·20 days agoThere is a way to kinda make this work, this would be hardware based security. You could use a TPM to make reasonably sure the kernel is e.g. mainline / hardened / anything else acceptable. Hardware vendors (i.e. Intel, AMD etc.) would have to provide a service where they hash the kernel alongside their keys for the game devs to check against (probably not for free). You would absolutely have to use Secure Boot tho, and eventually keys may be leaked. Another possibility would be devs connecting directly to your TPM to make sure (afaik this is possible in principle, but not mean to be used that way).
I think there are easier ways to prevent cheating tho, for example simply detecting suspicious activity on the server side, i.e. stats go way up, looking at data coming from clients other than yours.
I think they mean to say the current classification is upheld, while the incoming one is still debated in court
